Some kids wanted to be firemen when they grew up, some wanted to be astronauts, some wanted to be ninjas, but I wanted to coach high school basketball. This is a blog about coaching basketball and basketball in general. I have a deep passion for basketball and am going to use this blog to share that passion with others as well as expand my own knowledge and ideas. I might post Xs and Os, drills, coaching ideas, or just random thoughts on basketball. Enjoy!

Bemidji State Beavers

Haven't posted in a while, busy week for student teaching this week, but I made it.

Anyway, I'm going to watch the Bemidji State men's team, the college where I attend, scrimmage today. I'm looking forward to it has they have some exciting new freshmen, a great class of sophomores, and a freshmen redshirt who I think will be a special player for them for the next four years. People are saying they are going to finish second to last in the league this year, I really, truly think that they can finish about in the middle playing 1 junior a bunch of sophomores and maybe a few freshmen. I'm excited to see what happens a year or two from now when that sophomore class is juniors and seniors. I think we could really be pretty solid.

I've always admired the coaching staff here at Bemidji State. They do a great job with what they are given - which is a small budget and poor location. They still somehow manage to get some pretty solid players up this way, which is nice. Whenever I go watch practices or games, I've always got a pencil in hand taking notes and trying to improve upon my knowledge. Hopefully they look good today!

About Me

I am a thirty year old who loves working with young people and basketball. It's my passion and what I've wanted to do since childhood.

This upcoming season will be my 11th year and I will be the sophomore coach at Tartan High School (Oakdale, MN).

I've learned a lot in my ten years, but the biggest thing I've learned is that I know enough to know that I don't know anything. I am constantly trying to better myself as a coach and gain more knowledge about coaching and the game. I'm hoping to learn from others in this blogging experience. With that in mind I would greatly appreciate any comments on what I post on the blog, I'm always looking to learn and that's part of why I put my ideas on here.
